type of social engineering where an attacker sends a fraudulent message designed to trick a human victim into revealing sensitive information to the attacker or to deploy malicious software on the victim's infrastructure like ransomware.
phishing attack
type of proprietary software which is initially shared by the owner for trial use at little or no cost
shareware
software, most often proprietary, that is distributed at no monetary cost to the end user.
freeware
roperty that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of one or more faults within some of its components.
fault tolerant
data type is a data type that has one of two possible values which is intended to represent the two truth values of logic and Boolean algebra
data about data
metadata
the values assigned to these parameters when passed into a function (or method) during a function call.
argument
data structure consisting of a collection of elements
array
control flow statement for specifying iteration, which allows code to be executed repeatedly.
loop
flaw or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways
bug
on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each location being a data center.

digital divide
sequential search is a method for finding an element within a list. It sequentially checks each element of the list until a match is found or the whole list has been searched.
linear search
irreversible compression is the class of data encoding methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content
lossy data compression
search algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array, compares the target value to the middle element of the array.
binary search
is the hierarchical and decentralized naming system used to identify computers, services, and other resources reachable through the Internet or other Internet Protocol networks.
technique designed for solving a problem more quickly when classic methods are too slow, or for finding an approximate solution when classic methods fail to find any exact solution.
